He asks her for permission
   To take the car
   Light his cigar
   Play his guitar
   Burn down the barn
  
   He asks her for permission
   To tie his shoes
   To take a snooze
   To read the news
   To sing the blues
  
   Chorus:
   He’s such a good boy
   A real mama’s boy
   She treats him like a toy
   He’s such a good boy
   (Repeat)
  
   He asks her for permission
   To get a tan
   To play his hand
   To blow a grand
   To be a man
  
   He asks her for permission
   To say goodnight
   To see Snow White
   To watch the fight
   ‘Cause she’s always right
  
   Chorus
  
   She points her finger
   And waves her hand
   And acts just like a Queen bee
   But he’s foolin’ her
   ‘Cause he doesn’t ask
   Her for permission
   When he comes to see me
  
   Chorus
